why would you expect that?
there's no professional nor civil accountability, so why should they care. They get to throw shots with impunity and high five each other later, then go home safe.

I respectfully disagree.

Not the same thing at all, but what if a LEO, in a similar scenario, fired at a suspect, missed and the round killed an infant. Then the LEO takes the suspect to the dead kid's parents and makes him apologize for their kid getting killed. We all know how well that would be received.

Honestly, I would tend to give the LEO who shot that dog the benefit of the doubt if he had not put 100% of the blame on the suspect. *He* pulled the trigger.

LEO's with appropriate skills and sound judgement do not shoot dogs for simply "approaching" or barking.

How else would some of you expect a LEO to react when threatened by a barking/snarling dog that "approaches" with it's teeth bared??????

I've been to the E.R. twice because of dog attacks.

I have sent many dogs to dog heaven.

Anyone who does not take a dog bite/attack seriously doesn't know what in the hell they're talking about.

Confronting and in immenent fear of attack are two very different things, requiring two entirely differing reactions.

Someone needs to come up with a video that shows the different point of view.  The reality is shown here...particularly around 30 seconds in:

Dog encounters as seen by normal people

Then follow that with this.  Especially around the 40 second mark

Dogs as seen by some police

Correction:   The initial scenes should be of vicious animals.  Maybe include scenes from Jurassic Park.  Then the little puppy coming to give you kisses/licks.

Lets see, couple of issues there
1-You're assuming that OC will work on the dog, when it doesn't always work on dogs, people, etc
2-More than likely the officers are pursuing the suspect with guns drawn. You're assuming that they have time to holster and go to a completely different force option when confronted with the dog

There are only 3 categories that I see reoccurring in virtually all of these cop/dog killing cases:

1) Officer is truly in fear of his life or great bodily injury when killing animal and is staving off a direct attack (justified). This would be backed up by torn clothing or bites to the skin which should be documented in order to be deemed justified. Simply being barked at or approached by a dog is not considered justified for use of a firearm.

Being legitimately in fear of your safety shouldn't require being bitten

On the street you can take an alternate route. You can turn around and go the other way
Officers faced with a dog in an alleyway can't take an alternate route and they are in the performance of their duties while pursuing the suspect.
They aren't going to stop because of the dog. They may stop if they lose track of the suspect, and stopping to deal with the dog by some other means probably means they've lost the suspect

I can't count the number of dogs I've encountered in my neighborhood that were running loose. Instead of shooting them I usually lure them in with treats and call their owners. Haven't been bitten once. If the dogs are scared or aggressive you simply avoid cornering them.

Of course they have a choice. In this case, they decided is was worth shooting someone's dog in order to catch a kid who was running from them.

Is it possible this kid running posed an immediate threat to the public? Sure - and in that case I'd fully support the officers doing whatever necessary to continue the chase. But in that case, I'd assume the best course of action would be to just keep chasing him - not stop, aim, shoot, rinse, repeat.  In other words - if the kid was considered dangerous enough justify shooting someone's dog over - then stopping to shoot is a delay the pursuing officers couldn't afford. Had the dog then proved aggressive, defensive actions could be taken. But working the odds - chances are great that the dog is harmless. Worth the risk, in my opinion, if you wish to claim the title of civil servant.

I have no doubt it was a stressful situation, and I can't blame the officers for making a split-second decision in error.  But the real problem here is the reluctance to admit it was an error in the first place.  The fact they bring the guy they were chasing to say "I'm sorry" speaks to their inability to take personal responsibility for their actions. When over 60% of American homes house dogs, a police force that knows as much about them as they do nuclear physics is simply unacceptable.

The reason so many dog shootings take place isn't because of necessity. Its due to lack of exposure and fear.  When your job is to interact with a dog-loving public 24-7, there's really no excuse to not have a solid knowledge of canine behaviour.

Dear Brits,

I love the UK; had the honor and privilege of being stationed there in the 80s. I daydream about going back one day. I drive a pickup truck, and live in Wyoming. I served 3 search warrants yesterday, worked a total of 18 hours. One house had a dog in it, barking and scared. We gently removed it and placed it in the yard,  then cleared the structure. We found a responsible party to take care of the animal.

I've never had to kill a dog, but drawn twice on three particularly vicious animals. I've found a harsh command, a swift kick, or redirecting the animal's attention, is far more effective, and much better in the long run.

Americans love and dote on our pets, and I don't think any officer takes joy or pride in harming a beloved animal.

Keep in mind the thousands of uneventful and unremarkable encounters people and dogs have with American police daily, that don't make the news.

Thanks, mate.

Cheers!

Perhaps there are those personality types. We were fortunate to have enough guys on the SW who could take care of the dog. Of course, if the animal had been aggressive, other means could've been employed, up to and including deadly force.

Only once has our team had to kill a dog, and that was only after it had bit two guys in the entry stack.

Certainly no reason or cause to not defend yourself from attack. Or take reasonable precautions to prevent it.  Thanks for being one of the good guys.

IMO it all comes down to management. If a particular department / organization tolerates excessive use of force - be it against animals or humans - then that's where those personality types will gravitate.

Just a general observation - not necessarily relevant to the situation at hand.

I have yet to see a cop  claim he would  commit wholesale murder over a dog.  (or cat, or parakeet)    On the other hand, GD is full of slobbering idiots that do.

Come to think of it, No one has advocated murder over the  killing of a horse or cow yet, I wonder why?

"Before leaving the scene, the officers brought the suspect by, to apologize."

Are you fucking kidding me?!!! I'm pro-LEO (LEOs in my county rock!) but damn, those officers must not have any sense of personal accountability at all.

The officers did what they did because of the suspects actions.

Already been there done that and did not have fire my weapon. Came close one time, but it was another dogs owner that came close to getting ventilated.
What's your point?

LEO's do not shoot dogs for simply "approaching" or barking.

How else would some of you expect a LEO to react when threatened by a barking/snarling dog that "approaches" with it's teeth bared??????

I've been to the E.R. twice because of dog attacks.

I have sent many dogs to dog heaven.

Anyone who does not take a dog bite/attack seriously doesn't know what in the hell they're talking about.


GD may now return to delivering pizza.

I have yet to see a cop  claim he would  commit wholesale murder over a dog.  (or cat, or parakeet)    On the other hand, GD is full of slobbering idiots that do.

Come to think of it, No one has advocated murder over the  killing of a horse or cow yet, I wonder why?

Maybe they just need a badge and QI.

I actually have, although that wasn't what I was talking about.  During one of the threads about police dogs one poster claimed that if his K9 were shot or stabbed the perp would be carried off in a bag, or something similar.  I don't guess that's technically wholesale murder, since he was just talking about murdering one civilian over a dog.

I could in the middle of the night and it's dark. Where I live we don't have streetlights, and the porch lights don't go to the property line.

And there have been folks who raped/killed people in fake cop uniforms. Just saying.

Another guy chomping at the bit to have an excuse to kill LE

He never has any logic, ever.

Serious questions because police officers are civilians. If someone is about to destroy my property (my dog), do I not have the right to defend that property with lethal force? I know it won't go well either way, but I'm just curious.

Destruction of property is part of their duty?

It was a few months ago, and apparently "k9" isn't a valid search term.  If it helps you sleep at night to think I made it up that's cool by me.

Well, there's all of use that aren't police officers, so however many of us that is, there's your number.  We can't do things like that because there are consequences.  We can't just say, "Well, something could have happened so I had to shoot in order to be sure." without being arrested and probably sued.

Back in my rookie days I used to shoot dogs for bounty.  Bought a lot of toys with that blood money.

I don't know, but I highly recommend (to anyone) not showing up to this farm and shooting at any animal on this property.
